About the Yoga
It is the perfect balance of effort and surrender-nurture yourself with yoga and explore the calming effects of yin and meditation. The morning sessions start with gentle stretching and pranayama (breathing exercises) building gradually into a flow (Vinyasa) practice, suitable for most of ability.
The more gentle evening sessions of Yin with the focus on relaxation and release, promoting harmony, healthy immune functioning and improving overall vitality.
The retreat setting allows for plenty of individual guidance so that we’ll be able to work with your specific level and requirements.
The workshop is group dependant, if you want to play it can be acroyoga, if you want to rest then it might be a deep yoga nidra practice, or maybe an ayurvedic detox lecture. It is your retreat, you decide!

Her intense love of yoga and an need for a realistic approach to investigating the nature of things, has helped her to create her own bespoke Yoga Teacher Training which she currently runs once a year.
